Re-Skinning

Re-skinning is one of the best tools and art forms a DM of any game system should become familiar with.  It involves changing the appearance and feel of something by changing little more than the way it looks and key words.  Re-skinning can be shallow, simple changes (like description) or they can become so deep you almost make whole new creatures.  This is a topic I think about and will be covering a lot.  Below you can find the re-skinning article archive and links to pages with some sample scenarios/descriptions for the creatures I "make" in those articles.
